    I know TMI but I need to ask

    ok so bubs is 3mths and I'm b/f.
    About 5 days ago I had a thick discharge that had blood streaks thru it. I though I was getting AF and well..... didn't use any protection. So here I am 5 days later no AF but lots of (what appears to be) fertile discharge. So should I be concerned that baby #4 is on the way ALOT sooner than expected???

    Hi JAJ

    Its certainly possible that bub number 4 could be on the way. However Since dd2 my cycle has been alover the place (she is bf too), I have had similar to you spotting, fertile mucous, non fertile mucous, I've thought I was getting AF but didnt (cramps swelling etc), have now had AF twice since giving birth and am waiting again. I have done so many preg tests but they have been negative (which was good for us). We have been using condoms as dd has slept through from 9 weeks and I have read that once babies sleep through bf becomes less effective as a contraceptive. Has your dd changed her sleep/feeding patterns. Sorry if thats not much help, I have just been all over the place with my cycles and have been worried I was preg a couple of times

    Good luck
